Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 126

At first, Lila didn't think much of it. Vince's words made sense and seemed reasonable.

However, she sensed the ambiguity in his tone. She was sharp and perceptive but wasn't the type to press for answers. So, she simply smiled and nodded.

The dinner went smoothly, with no tension. It was almost over when Vince took out three gold-embossed invitations.

The other three were puzzled, and Jamie spoke up first. "Vince, what's this?"

He smiled lightly. "Lane Group will hold a charity gala in a few days. Many influential people from the industry will be there. You'll have a chance to meet them."

He placed the invitations on the table. "This is a special invitation with reserved seating."

Lila was quick to understand, having observed the siblings throughout the dinner. Their relationship seemed both familiar and distant. From what Jamie had said before, the two had spent years apart, one overseas and one domestically.

Given that Lane Group had an entertainment division, it seemed like the best choice for Jamie to join upon returning home. However, that hadn't happened.
